Thyme extracts were obtained
by supercritical fluid extraction at 30 MPa and 40 MPa and their concentration was estimated in units of carvacrol
(190.44–609.57 μg/mL). The acceptable sensorial threshold of thyme extract in cheese was 0.2% (v/w), a
value lower than the MIC for L. monocytogenes. Detailed kinetic studies of L. monocytogenes inactivation in cheese
